Airbus cuts its forecast for passenger jet deliveries over the next two decades, citing uncertainty in the aviation market. In its latest rolling 20-year industry outlook, the European planemaker expects 42,060 overall passenger jet deliveries between 2026 and 2045. This figure is 1% lower than Airbus’s prior rolling forecast. Multiple outlets link the revision to broader headwinds affecting the sector’s rebound, including the impact of the ongoing war in Iran on regional conditions and wider aviation operations, as well as tariff-related disruptions that weigh on demand and supply chains. The forecast is described as industry-wide, reflecting expected deliveries across the commercial aviation market rather than Airbus’s own order book alone. While the change is modest, it signals Airbus’s view that conditions may remain less favorable than previously anticipated over the long term. The company’s update frames the adjustment as part of routine forecasting revisions, but it underscores the continuing influence of geopolitical and trade risks on aviation planning.
